Key Features
The Tama Superstar Classic 22'', Coffee Fade is a high-quality shell pack from Tama, taking inspiration from arguably Tama's most famous and most influential drum kit, the Superstar. The kit was known for its ground-breaking design, superior build quality, crisp tone and clear projection. Tama's new take at the Superstar features carefully selected maple shells, offering a rich, warm tonal character with brilliant mid and high frequencies.
The shells are constructed with tone in mind, focused intently on shell moulding and the bearing edge shape that gives the drums their incredible ringing sustain and powerful projection. The shells are mounted using Tama's Star-Mount system, ensuring that the wood is allowed to project fully and resonate naturally, meaning it isn't muffled or muted at all. The kit carries some of the classic features that the original Superstar series had, such as the classic Tama T-shape badge and streamlined low-mass lugs that feature a simple design that's reminiscent of the 70s style.
Please note: Cymbals are for illustration purposes only and are not included in this purchase.

The Tama Superstar Classic drum kit features 6-ply, 5mm shells on the rack toms, the floor tom and the snare, whilst the bass drum features a thicker 8-ply, 7mm shell for a fatter, heavier tone. The heavy, aggressive thud that the bass drum gives off perfectly contrasts the incredible singing warmth from the rest of the kit. Maple, when compared to other popular tonewoods used in drum constructed, is a soft wood with a less dense grain pattern. This allows for higher frequencies, increased warmth and incredibly powerful projection. To complete the shells is an attractive, gradient Coffee Fade design.
The Tama Superstar Classic Shell Pack features Tama's Star-Mount mounting system, designed to ensure optimal resonance from your drums. This is achieved by providing support at four different points on the batter side hoop of a drum. The bracket bolts slide from left to right, making it far easier to position your rack toms closer together without them making contact.
The kit also comes complete with Tama MM5WN Stage Master hardware, providing great value for money and less hassle buying hardware seperately. All stands come with double-braced legs for additional stability and durability. The pack features a boom stand with convertible boom arm and Quick-Set Cymbal Mate for effortless set up and tear down. The Stage Master hi-hat stand has direct pull action for immediate response and a non-loosening tension rod to prevent slipping. The Stage Master snare stand fits 12'' to 15'' snare drums and features a gearless tilter for smooth and secure positioning anywhere. To complete the set is the Iron Cobra 200 pedal, which features a Power Glide offset cam for more powerful beater acceleration.
